Which starters did Duke lose? Redick, he went very late and got tons of minutes. Sanders, he came off the bench. Randolph and Williams, who cares anyway. They still had their "best" two players on the floor.
What I'm saying is that WAKE DID NOT HAVE HOWARD FOR THE WHOLE DAMN GAME. Duke had players until the end, when there was foul attrition. In 1h, with full Wake team, they were up 10, then came back with everyone out. Duke built that 6 point lead with Howard and Gray out.
I'm not saying officiating helped Duke, I'm just saying it was even at best.
I didnt even play this game, just trying to point out fact here. Keep betting Duke this year, especially on the road, and you will bury yourself. They are completely overrated.
